Students at Assumption College School in Brantford, Ontario, are invited to form teams for the school’s first-ever school-wide STEM Olympics. The week-long competition will take place from April 13 to April 16, 2026, featuring challenges focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.

Teams of up to four students from the same grade level can sign up outside room 3005 at the school, located on Shellard Lane. Participants will face off in trivia, math challenges, and engineering tasks to see who will be crowned the STEM Olympics Champions. The event is designed to give science and math-minded students a fun way to use their skills in a competitive setting.

The school has a large STEM program that was first started by the science and math departments in 2012. Today, more than 250 students from all grades participate in various science-focused activities and workshops throughout the year. In the past, the group has hosted guest speakers such as astronauts and a NASA researcher to talk about their careers.

Assumption College School is part of the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board and serves about 1,865 students. Local students also regularly represent the school in other academic events, including the Western University Science Olympics held in London, Ontario.
